At dVerse Merril is hosting the Quadrille (44 words) with an invitation to write about Celebration.
dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Let’s Celebrate
“Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one’s actions.” Abraham Joshua Heschel
Have You? Have you smelled the sun or felt the stars, touched the moon in the early hours, stuck your tender toes in salted sand, watched egrets dance the lake, listened to waves kissing the beach, taken a lover with whom to celebrate these easy joys.

Must be headed for similar climes. You have a standing onboard invitation, you know. Or a sitting one, if you prefer (snrck!) 👽🙋

No sitting for me, meaning no shilly-shallying

You just have a very hard time giving yourself a break. Definitely a 3D Terra thing ~ it’ll wear off when you find yourself NOT surrounded by eternal, bottomless, endless need. 👌
